Replacing Turbocharger (TC)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2006 Volvo S80, 2005 Volvo S80, 2004 Volvo S80, 2003 Volvo S80, and 2002 Volvo S80. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In a number of cases the turbocharger (TC) has been changed unnecessarily. This happened because some play has been felt when checking (the shaft floats on an oil film).
Play should always be checked before replacing, to determine if the bearings are worn.
The turbocharger (TC) should always be replaced complete:
- plug all terminals on the old turbocharger before it is sent away.
